I have read the page, as well as the kernel docs but I have tried
booting with angelboot (1.10.nk) several times with several different
kernels and I always get the errors:
Error: Received 8 when expecting start packet character.Error: Received
f0 when expecting start packet character.Error: Received 0 when
expecting start packet character.Error: Received 0 when expecting start
packet character.Initialising execution environment.
Error: Received 0 when expecting start packet character.Downloading
image size 0x9c664 to 0xc0008000
Error: Received 0 when expecting start packet character.
etc..... it keeps going
I guess what I am asking is when do I begin the angelboot command? I
have blob installed and so it boots directly to that as soon as I power
on, and if I run the command and then reset the machine, I get these
same errors. Are these normal, or am I doing something stupid?
